As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Child Specialist and Development Disabilities Specialist, I’ve worked with children and families in an array of settings and circumstances for more than 16 years. As a biological and adoptive parent to two children and a working Mom, I know firsthand the everyday challenges families face. I understand how quickly small problems can cause frustration and misunderstanding, especially when families feel overwhelmed and unsure of where to turn for help.

I started Practical Parenting as a way to provide support and solutions to families facing everyday challenges. The goal is to provide support, programs and techniques that decreases frustration and increases fun.

I believe every family has the ability to create healthy, fulfilling relationships. I believe in celebrating each family’s uniqueness and drawing on the strengths you already possess. It takes courage to seek ways to change the way your family works. Let me help you find the tools and ideas that will work for you and your family – and put the fun back in your family life.
